It's a difficult journey when you're going through a divorce, is it not, for anyone?
My depression is not something very special. A lot of people go through depression. My divorce is not something very special; a lot of people go through divorce.
Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success.
We've all been affected by divorce in one way or another, whether we've experienced it personally, or witnessed family or friends go through it.
Generally, there are no lightning bolts or magical signs that tell you when it is time to get divorced. When the bad starts outweighing the good on a consistent basis, you may feel that taking the next step is appropriate. It is a very personal decision and most likely should be arrived upon with the help of some kind of counseling or support.
People that go through what I went through and people going through divorce, it's really a difficulty process; it's heartbreaking and it hurts really bad. It can really mess with your head.
Divorce is hard and painful and complicated, and something you have to grow through.
Divorce is always terrible, but I haven't met anyone who went through it and isn't happier now.
